Oxford Picture Dictionary

1001 Most Useful Spanish Words
This is an excellent little book for the price. It contains more than 1,000 of the most useful words in the Spanish language. They are presented in alphabetical order with simple illustrative sentences of practical value, followed by an English translation.
Guide to Spanish Suffixes
Far more than most modern languages, Spanish relies on suffixes to denote parts of speech, modify the word root, or even convey subtle nuances of meaning. This book will help you expand your vocabulary and comprehension through the mastery of the most common Spanish word endings. For example, most students learn 'el papel' (paper) or 'el zapato' (shoe) during the first weeks of study, but learning the suffixes resulting in such terms as la paelería (stationary shop) and la zapatería (shoe shop) often comes much later.
Schaum's Outline of Spanish Vocabulary
Excellent book, excellent value. Provides the reader with the vocabulary needed to converse effectively about everyday topics. The aim is to enrich a student's knowledge by providing words that seldom appear in typical textbooks, but that are essential for communicating comfortably. Each chapter focusses on a real-life situation, such as talking on the phone or staying at a hotel. Lots of practice exercises.
